Ralph Lauren quietly shuttered its two-year-old 20,000-square-foot store last week. Other brands are expected to close boutiques in a city that has lost its luster for cash-rich mainland Chinese tourists.

SUPE TALK: Jason Wu clearly likes to take supermodels to iconic New York eateries. After his spring campaign featured Stephanie Seymour at La Grenouille, Wu tapped Christy Turlington for his fall ads, this time setting the scene at Mr Chow uptown. Photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin and art directed by Patrick Li, the images will launch in the fall editions of Love, Tank, Self Service and The Gentlewoman. The designer and the supe clearly hit it off. “It was great getting to meet and spend some time with Jason,” Turlington said. Added Wu, “I’ve been a huge fan of Christy and was so delighted that she agreed to appear in my fall campaign. She brings such inimitable charisma and chic to the image.”RELATED STORY: Jason Wu Fall 2013 >>
